No, neither over-posting, over-quoting, nor irritating grammar is the real issue!
I hereby declare, on behalf of Carrol Cox & Michael Hoover, a campaign against over-concentrating on electoral politics, and in doing so, I cordially & publicly invite our anarchist brothers & sisters to join the campaign, forming a united front (whilst maintaining our independent politics) against compulsive & obsessive attention to Bush/Gore, especially fetishistic studies of opinion polls which both anarchists & the "curmudgeon tendency" of the Marxist tradition deplore as insufferably & irredeemably petit-bourgeois!
Anarchists & Marxists of LBO-talk, unite & post on non-electoral issues!
